Blueberry pens poem in honor of veterans

Poet Peter Blueberry said he was inspired to write “The Sacrifice” as his church, Fellowship Church of Granite Bay, prepares to send 3,500 signed Bibles to troops.

“I was sitting in the church one day, and the pastor had all the Bibles in the front near the stage,” he shared. “It was a huge mountain of Bibles and they had not all been signed yet. It just struck me that I should do something special, but I didn’t know what. I teared up a bit and became impressed that I should write a poem honoring these solders and I did.”

He also brought home 30 boxes of Bibles, signed them all and put the poem in each one.
